Hello haven't posted in a while but i need to. I have reoccuring thoughts which are beleive are ptsd related given that i am still taken my meds and trying block out memories, i see a new pysch doc on the 23rd and hopeing that he can help me anyway not that far away. Maybe i need to increase my Zoloft a bit but won;t know until i see him, has anyone else experinced ptsd and what helped to over come it i would appreicitate your thoughts. Thanks Twiggy2

I have in recent months remembered thing I have suppressed since 5yrs......i am now 44.

I was recently hospitalized (psche) ,,,have uncovered many memories....but I am still haunted........like there is something else to face.

I can not tell you how empowered I felt to vocalize my life long supressions. Do you feel like you can start talking a little? with me, at this stage, it came pouring out. Until now.........I have never been able to remember since I was around 13 yrs old. Now I am stalled at 5 and (you know the feeling........like you are going to implode) I feel like there is something else I need to face.

Hi Twiggy, it is good to see you back again . I have PTSD also and have had it for a very long time. Mine stems from childhood sexual and physical abuse. I can tell you from my own experience with this that medication (antidepressants) has helped with the depression and anxiety as PTSD is tied into both of these but therapy is the key factor to helping with this one disorder. Usually, when a person goes through something so traumatic it does leave lasting effects on the mind and it can creep up on us at unexpected times...like in our dreams, or even when we aren’t even thinking of the event. This is why dealing with it through therapy is important as it helps bring it to the forefront and hopefully you can resolve the issue to a point where you can live in peace with it.

I was just diagnosed with PTSD, and every day is a struggle. I am supposed to be starting a new therapy that involves something with eye movements, but I need to find a therapist that does it. My therapist recommended it to me to try to help with my situation. I hope you are able to find some relief to what you are going through. Keep us updated.*Steph*
